    The role of splenectomy in the treatment of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is now well established. There are however some particular situations which indicate splenectomy as a possible emergency therapy in markedly cytopenic cases with severe antibiotic-resistant infections. The aim of the emergency splenectomy in such conditions is to temporarily increase neutrophils and to permit the improvement of the infectious disease. We describe 2 cases of HCL with severe infectious disease, successfully splenectomized.

    Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

    Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
    The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...
